Get ready to get lost at Castaway Cove. The cottage has been remodeled top to bottom and is fully stocked for your pleasure.

We have converted the garage and made it a game room. Heating/Cooling with finished walls and soft flooring are a great space to watch the game on the flat screen or enjoy the PING PONG table, FOOS BALL table, a game of DARTS or many of the other games we have in the room.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Lake life is about outdoor living even when you have to come off the boat - so we hope you enjoy our outdoor living areas.

DECK AND SCREENED IN PORCH

Our 800 sq foot deck includes a large Screened In Porch that features a dining table (seats 8), bar, conversation set and flat screen TV perfect for watching college football or Sunday games with both SEC and Red Zone channels. We are fully stocked with melamine dishware for outdoor dining. Enjoy the lake in style without the bugs!

Our sun deck includes a 5 burner gas grill for your use, plenty of lounging space and space off of the master bedroom with rocking chairs and tables to enjoy morning coffee as you watch the family of deer who frequent the woods around the house.

DOCK

A two story dock with sundeck is perfect for sunbathing, relaxing or watching the sunset. The dock is great for swimming and fishing. There is a swim ladder to get into the water easily - but the cove is not that deep - so no diving off the top deck. Bring your own lake towels!

We also have a tandem (two person) kayak for your use.

Unlike many houses at the Lake , our path to the dock is a nice level stroll! Just follow the lit path.

OTHER OUTDOOR AREAS

Outdoor Shower - On the side of the house - a shower to wash the lake off before you enter the house.

Fire Pit - Enjoy the fire pit as you sit in the Adirondack chairs. Roast marshmallows and make s'mores. Outdoor string lights add ambiance.

Trampoline - Enjoy the trampoline for loads of fun - but please supervise the young ones!

Swing - A fun swing in the trees.

OTHER FEATURES

Parking Area - pull around the back for private parking. There is private parking around the garage and in the rear next to the deck stairs. There is also a load zone in front. Maximum of 3 vehicles and no RVS/boat trailers.

IMPORTANT NOTES & HOUSE RULES

Our bungalow is cozy, special and our neighborhood is quaint. This is the perfect getaway - but not a party pad. No large groups or parties. We sleep 6 comfortably in private rooms and up to 8 including the beds in the loft / couch.

We have 2 exterior security cameras for liability and to ensure the compliance with the rules noted here.

    House was great! Kitchen had what we needed to prepare and serve Thanksgiving dinner. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the fire pit, game room, and upper deck to the boat house as well. We were a little closer to neighbors than the pictures led us to believe. We would probably choose something a bit more secluded next time, but host and house were all wonderful for an extended Thanksgiving vacation.

    Loved this lake house. The kids are even asking to go back! It’s great for families and the kids will especially love the loft or “eagles nest” that my boys re named it. Lots of places to explore and the property felt private. We used the dock and loved using the included kayak. There was an amenity that wasn’t available during our stay, but the host was very responsive and worked with us. Overall, we enjoyed the lake house and had a great experience. Beautiful in the fall.

    We had a great stay. The lake was awesome and we were able to go boating, tubing, kayaking, ping pong tournaments, fishing and more. The house had everything you would need. Although it would have been nice if they provided lake towels. Highly recommend this listing and location.

    We had an incredible stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our group—the layout was spacious and comfortable, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home from the start.Hen was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything seamless. The location was fantastic—close enough to everything we wanted to do. We went white water rafting and zip lining, both within an hour’s drive, and had an absolute blast.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fun, easy getaway in the area!

    Welcome basket was a sweet personal touch! Cute house and adorable lake vibes, great and easy communication with property manager, you have to take a trail to lake not lakefront property. Kids LOVED the loft!

    We spent a long weekend at this cozy lake house. We love it as it is well located in a secluded neighborhood with a secluded dock. Beautifully appointed and a great living space. Our only comment is that they should provide lake towels but other than that amazing experience!
